How much do you know about all that wonderful cheese you've been devouring?

WICE is once again offering a perennially favorite program that's sure to arouse your taste buds and show you how to select cheese at any affineur.

Emily Monaco, our longtime cheese instructor, will discuss:


  • The different families of French cheese and how and why they’re divided up
  • The techniques used to make each of these families of cheese and what to expect from their flavors
  • What AOC/AOP means when it comes to cheese and when (or if) it matters
  • How to build a balanced cheese board and how to cut cheese properly

And of course, where there’s cheese education there’s also cheese tasting!

Price: €35, which includes cheese 

Registration opens on Wednesday, 21 January.
